This is one of the best and friendliest health and safety sites on the web at present. It's suitable for those with a casual interest in health and safety, those wishing to make a career out of the subject, as well as professional practitioners.

This is a very comprehensive document for the UK nuclear industry weighing in at over 200 pages. This code details the principles, processes, and practices that should be used when determining whether an article or material may be released from any further regulatory control (based on radiological protection considerations). The report presents a summary of regulatory background, details interactions with other legislation, outlines industry practices, describes management principles, presents clearance and sentencing processes, details statistics and discusses measurement.
